Optimal Graph Based Segmentation Using Flow Lines with Application to Airway Wall Segmentation
This paper introduces a novel optimal graph construction method that is applicable to multi-dimensional, multi-surface segmentation problems. Such problems are often solved by refining an initial coarse surface within the space given by graph columns. Conventional columns are not well suited for surfaces with high curvature or complex shapes but the proposed columns, based on properly generated...
متن کاملVoxel classification based airway tree segmentation
This paper presents a voxel classification based method for segmenting the human airway tree in volumetric computed tomography (CT) images. In contrast to standard methods that use only voxel intensities, our method uses a more complex appearance model based on a set of local image appearance features and K nearest neighbor (KNN) classification. The optimal set of features for classification is...
متن کاملSimultaneous Segmentation of Multiple Closed Surfaces Using Optimal Graph Searching
This paper presents a general graph-theoretic technique for simultaneously segmenting multiple closed surfaces in volumetric images, which employs a novel graph-construction scheme based on triangulated surface meshes obtained from a topological presegmentation. The method utilizes an efficient graph-cut algorithm that guarantees global optimality of the solution under given cost functions and ...
متن کاملSegmentation of Magnetic Resonance Brain Imaging Based on Graph Theory
Introduction: Segmentation of brain images especially from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential requirement in medical imaging since the tissues, edges, and boundaries between them are ambiguous and difficult to detect, due to the proximity of the brightness levels of the images. Material and Methods: In this paper, the graph-base...
متن کاملMeasurement, Evaluation and Analysis of Wall Thickness of 3D Airway Trees across Bifurcations
Airway segmentation and analysis is an essential step in the understanding of pulmonary anatomy and early detection of lung diseases. In this paper, we evaluate a newly developed method for segmenting the inner and outer surfaces of the airway tree. This is the first approach reported to validate the segmentation of the double wall surfaces for the entire airway tree including bifurcations. Two...
